I bought your Hippo pattern to help me learn how to read a pattern along with your video. I am really struggling following this crochet video for the Hippo. I have made your dinosaur with just your tutorial and it turned out really cute. Thank you! This tutorial video is hard to get through and the pattern is not helping. It might be helpful if could explain as if you were reading your own pattern and what your are doing as you crochet at the same time. I’m sorry I find your video difficult to follow. I really liked doing the dinosaur so I thought I could do this Hippo too. But I haven’t even got past the top of the head 🤷🏻♀️.
Hello, I am glad you wrote me. I am sorry for the video. It can be confusing for someone. If you bought the written pattern follow just the written pattern. I always make first the video and then the written pattern. The written pattern is made to make sense. I mean count of stitches, it’s centered etc. If I make any new project I make everything how I feel it so I do not need count of stitches etc. If I need to get any shape of animal I just do it. Maybe the written pattern seems little different on the beginning but it is not. It’s exactly the same hippo what I made in video 😉 I just wrote it to make sense. If you will need help let me know. I hope you will enjoy the crocheting of hippo. I am glad you made the dinosaur with me ❤️
I think it will help to have stich count. Rather than saying sc to the other side, which is confusing, have the actual count will help. I m sorry I gave up half way through ciz I'm also very confused 😢
This is a terrible tutorial don’t feel bad - I think it’s designed to make you feel like you have to buy the pattern. I’m dyslexic and I only follow tutorials. Everything I’ve made is from tutorials and I couldn’t follow this either - it’s infuriatingly unclear
Love how your toy turned out but I found this tutorial very difficult to follow. Would be better if you actually use the stitch markers nd tell us in which stitch to make the stitches. Please let us know when the written pattern comes out.
Hello, yea you are right. I feel sorry it is not understable enough for you. Sometime I am in hurry and this is result. Next time I will think of that and make it better 😉 Thank you very much for your comment 😍
I agree. I am having the hardest time with round 3! I cannot seem to get the stitches to come out right even though I have slowed the video down, watched closely, and counted the number of stitches she makes. Also, placement of the first stitch of each round...is it in the same stitch as the one she just slip stitched into? If so, why no chain stitch to start the round at the correct height?
Thanks for such a wonderful tutoria. 2 sugestions: 1) indicate the round no for each row. 3) total number of stitches in each row. Where can I find your written pattern if any. l
Do you have the written pattern as it is a little confusing as you don't confirm the number of stitches at the end of each round, which would be really helpful for me as I am a beginner.
I love the result, but the instructions are very confusing... The stitches are not being counted as you go through the pattern, it’s always approximately. It would have been halpfull to be more precise with your stitch count and stitch placement. Thank you for making this video 🧡
Thank you :) yes I know this video is not perfect. I make my tutorials better now..If you want you can purchase the hippo written pattern on www.etsy.com/shop/tommyssheepshop I am sorry the hippo tutorial is confusing for you..
Oh I feel sorry. I know it. But it is good to know it and next time I will think of it. I am working on the written pattern..😉 Thank you for your opinion 😍
Oh I will not make one more the same hippo but maybe I will make the hippo snuggler ;) or I have th ewritten pattern of the hippo in my Etsy shop :) http//:www.etsy.com/shop/tommyssheepshop
The video is confusing so I bought the written pattern and it is equally confusing. I am not a beginner, but I just can't figure out the pattern especially after watching the video.
can you tell us how many stitches we should have after each round. I got lost on the 3rd round. (increase, 1 sc in next 2 st, increase, 1sc in next 2 st. increase) then do you do 4 sc in next 4 stitches? And increase, 1sc in next 2 st, increase, 1sc in next 2 stitches,increase, 1sc in next 2 st? 4 sc in next 4 stitches and then what?
I'm having the same issue! I end up with three stitches left after the 4sc on the second side, but according to the tutorial, there should just be one stitch left in which there should be a sc increas worked. No matter what I do, I can't figure out how to get the number of stitches to come out right :(
This is adorable! My daughter loves hippos, so I will definitely be making this for her. Will you be posting a tutorial for the body and legs in the near future?
@@jitkaleikepova2691 😀 Oh I ment I don't know when the bee tutorial can be done because I have no time at all. Next will be a horse, mouse, fox and dog 😊
Oh I feel sorry it's confusing. Maybe you are right. My explanation is not too good in this video. In the written pattern will be all needed instructions and information so I hope you'll be satisfied 😊 if you want me to help you with something now just ask 😉
Im sorry but once you get to count sixteen stitches I’m very confused as you then say increase 8 but you don’t show what happens to the last 8 stitches
Ive just bought zour written pattern but I dont understand it. Totally confusing. Watching the video, reading the pattern but they dont match. It was a waste of money for me, sorry
You have to follow only written pattern. It seems different but it is not. Follow the pattern and use videos only for attaching, embroider etc..😉 if you will need any help from me let me know in Etsy please 🙂
@@DivineSecrete Oh really, I was still wondering how to do it. I just click on french language in this video but I thought it´s not working. That´s fantastic. I am happy..now I am little smarter so i thank you! ;)
sehr süsses hippo. Leider kann ich dir schon kurz nach Beginn nicht mehr folgen (und ich bin kein Anfänger). Ab der 3. oder 4. Runde wird es total verwirrend, da du auch keine Maschenanzahl angibst. Einmal wird am Ende der Runde eine Kettmasche gemacht, dann wieded mal nicht. Du solltest dir vielleicht bei relativ kurzen Runden die Zeit nehmen, sie komplett im Video mitzuhäkeln. Bitte nicht als böse Kritik auffassen, soll nur eine Anregung sein. Vielen Dank für deine Mühe
Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihre Meinung. Dann häkle ich herum. Ich erwähne die Augen am Ende jeder Runde nicht, weil ich dafür schriftliche Anweisungen habe. Vielen Dank noch mal

If I wanted to try this pattern with Bernat blanket yarn what size crochet hook would you recommend?
Hello, the same size of crochet hook (5 mm) or you can use 5,5 mm 😉 your hippo is going to be bigger then..
@@tommyssheep Thank you. I know he will be a bit bigger. :D
This is really confusing.. love the end result but the written pattern is definitely needed

One ball of yarn should be enough if you'll not make a mistake.
So 100 g 😊

If you are going to offer a video tutorial, you should be more clear in your instructions.
Thanks for your opinion..
@@tommyssheepYou’re welcome but it was a recommendation, not an opinion. I can understand your confusion just like your instructions.
I understand you have a written pattern but I feel this video is purposefully frustrating and difficult to follow 🙁
Hello, no I am still learning how to make videos the best to follow. Now I explain everything better. This video is older.
@@tommyssheep I understand. Hopefully you'll come back and do a follow along video for this pattern. Your crochet design is quite pretty
Your instructions here do not match your written pattern so it makes it really hard to follow along on parts your struggling with on written pattern
Hello, follow only the written pattern. You can watch videos to know how to embroider or how to sew individual parts together. The written pattern is centered.
Not right:(
?? What do you mean?
You are so confusing
Sorry if it´s confusing for you.
